Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for manufacturing multiarmed asymmetrical radial block copolymers and to multiarmed asymmetrical blockcopolymers obtainable with such a process.
- the invention relates to a process for manufacturing six armed asymmetrical radial block copolymers, using a functional silicon containing coupling agent and intermediate living polymer arms, initially prepared from a conjugated diene and/or a mono vinyl aromatic monomer, and more in particular styrene, by anionic polymerisation.
- US patent No. 4010226 disclosed the preparation of branched block copolymers of controlled structure by reacting conjugated diene and/or monoalkenyl arene and/or monoalkenyl pyridine monomer, with monolithium initiator to give monolithium terminated polymer of an average molecular weight of 7500, coupling with a poly(alkenyl compound) and reacting the resulting coupled polylithio intermediate with conjugated diene, monoalkenyl arene and/or monoalkenyl arene and/or alkenyl pyridine monomer at a temperature in the range of some -75°C to + 150°, each polymer branch so formed having an average molecualr weight of from 5000 - 1000,000.
- the polymers obtained by said process and their hydrogenated derivatives were indicated to be used in footwear, adhesives, wire and cable coatings and automative parts.
- US patent No. 5,212,249 disclosed a process for preparing asymmetric radial polymers, wherein the different polymeric arms are contacted sequentially with a non polymerisable coupling agent, preferably being a silicon containing coupling agent, having up to 12 functional sites.
- a non polymerisable coupling agent preferably being a silicon containing coupling agent, having up to 12 functional sites.
- Contacting in the final step in said process which frequently but not necessarily always will be the second step in the process was carried out in the presence of a polar compound suitable for increasing the amount of vinyl content in a conjugated diolefin polymer during the polymerisation thereof.
- the polymers obtained according to this process showed a narrower relative arm distribution of the several asymmetric radial polymers produced and a significant increase of the amount of product having the devised ratio of polymeric arms.
- Non-polymerisable coupling agents having 3 or 4 functional groups were most preferred.
- Useful polar compounds were selected from ethers, tertiary amines, pyridine and pyrolidene compounds, of which the di- and poly-functional ethers were preferred.
- Said process was usually carried out in at least two separate reactors, to be used for the initial preparation of the first living polymer arm and the second living polymer arm respectively.
- an object of the present invention was to provide an economically attractive process for the manufacture of said radial asymmetric block copolymers.
- the invention relates to a process for the manufacture of multiarmed radial asymmetric block copolymers, comprising of the steps:
- the first and second living polymer are comprising predominantly poly(conjugated diene) blocks and/or diblocks consisting of a predominantly poly(conjugated diene) block segment, and a predominantly poly(mono vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon), of which the second polymer block shows a significantly varying molecular weight.
- the blocks involved maybe constituted by a major amount of one monomer, mixed with a minor amount (up to 20 wt %) of another comonomer, e.g. a major fraction of butadiene or isoprene mixed with a minor fraction of styrene, ⁇ -methyl styrene etc or a major fraction of styrene mixed with a minor fraction of 1,3 butadiene or isoprene or mixtures thereof.
- comonomer mixtures may form tapered block copolymer segments or substantially random copolymer segments, which both may be included as arms in the complete multiarmed asymetric radial block copolymers.
- the firstly introduced living polymer arms having a narrow molecular weight distribution may be prepared from monomers selected from 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, 2,3-dimethyl 1,3 butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene; 1,3-hexadiene or mixtures thereof, and/or from monomers selected from styrene, alfa-methylstyrene, o-methyl styrene, p-methylstyrene, p-tertbutylstyrene, 1,3-dimethylstyrene, or mixtures thereof.
- the secondly introduced living polymer arms having a broad molecular weight distribution, may be prepared from at least predominantly 1,3-butadiene, as the last polymerising monomer, optinally preceded by a minor block of monomers selected from styrene, ⁇ -methylstyrene, o-methyl-styrene, p-methylstyrene, p-tertbutylstyrene, 1,3-dimethylstyrene or mixtures thereof, or by a block of branched conjugated diene, such as isoprene.
- the firstly introduced living arm polymers are selected from substantially pure 1,3-butadiene homopolymers, substantially pure isoprene homopolymers; substantially pure styrene homopolymers and combinations thereof.
- the secondly introduced living arm polymers are selected from substantially pure 1,3 butadiene homopolymers and combinations of substantially pure 1,3 butadiene homopolymers and substantially pure styrene homopolymers or substantially pure isoprene homopolymers, wherein the poly(1,3-butadiene) block, representing a significant part of the total living polymer arm, must be the last formed.
- the multiarmed radial asymmetric block copolymers of the present invention comprise a first set of arms, consisting of a block of substantially pure poly(1,3-butadiene) or a block of substantially pure poly(isoprene) or a diblock of a substantially pure poly(styrene), and a substantially pure poly(1,3-butadiene) or substantially pure poly(isoprene), and a second set of arms consisting of substantially pure 1,3-butadiene homopolymer or a diblock of initially prepared substantially pure poly(styrene) and subsequently formed substantially pure poly(butadiene).
- Preferred organo alkali metal initators for the steps (a) and (c)of the process of the present invention are lithium alkyl or lithium alkoxy compounds, lithium cycloalkyl, lithium alkyl substituted cycloalkyl, lithium phenyl or lithium alkyl substituted phenyl, having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms and preferably from 2 to 8 carbon atoms. More preferably tert-butyl lithium or sec-butyl lithium are used
- Non polymerisable coupling agents which can in principle be used in step (b) are silicon containing compounds selected from compounds of the formulae X3-Si-SiX 3, X3 Si-O-SiX3, X3 Si-(CH2) n -SiX 3, and the like, wherein X represents halogen, hydride, carboxyl or alkoxy radicals, having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
- X represents halogen, hydride, carboxyl or alkoxy radicals, having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
- BTCSE Si-CH2-CH2SiCl3
- BTMSE MeO 3 Si-CH2-CH2-Si (OMe)3
- multiarmed asymmetric radial block copolymers [AC]4X[B]2 are manufactured, using as coupling agent 1,2 bis(trichlorosilyl) ethane (BTCSE), or 1,2-bis(trimethoxy silyl) ethane (BTMSE) by contacting said coupling agent with four initially prepared living poly(butadiene) or poly(isoprene) blocks or diblocks, containing a poly(styrene) and a poly(butadiene) or poly(isoprene) block, leaving two reactive sites available, which are finally reacted with another type of in situ prepared living block copolymer segments as hereinbefore specified, after reactivation of these residual sites with a polar compound, ultimately resulting in a 6 armed asymmetric radial block copolymer.

- step (c) second polymer segments, to be used as a second set of arms in the complete multiarmed radial asymmetric block copolymer and showing significantly varying molecular weights (relative broad molecular weight distribution), are prepared in the presence of the remaining, not reacted functional sites of the coupling reagent, which has reacted already with a first set of arms, having a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution.
- Said second polymer segments may be prepared from butadiene, by means of added alkyl lithium initiator and more preferably butyl lithium initiator, or of added living separately prepared growing chains, constituted by at least a predominantly poly(monovinyl aromatic) segment, and more in particular poly(styrene) segment.
- step (d) the one or more polar compounds are added to increase the reactivity of the residual functional groups of the initially reacted coupling agent, i.e. the product of step (b).
- the polar compounds to be used in step (d) of the process of the present invention to increase the reactivity of the remaining reacting sites of the coupling agent include Lewis bases and more in particular ethers, such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, ethylene glycol dibutyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol di ethylether, diethylene glycol dibutyl ether, dioxane, diethoxy propane, triethylene glycol diethyl ether, 1,2-dimethoxy benzene, 1,2,3-trimethoxy benzene, 1,2,4 trimethoxy benzene, 1,2,3-tri ethoxy benzene, 1,2,3-tributoxy benzene, 1,2,4-triethoxy benzene.

- another aspect of the present invention is formed by the novel class of multiarmed radial asymmetric copolymers, obtainable by the hereinbefore specified process and which may be characterised by sets of different arms, one set of which comprising block segments showing a relatively broad molecular weight distribution (Q>1.2), obtainable by in situ preparation of said living arms in the presence of free active sites of a partially reacted coupling agent and another set of which comprising block segments showing a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn ⁇ 1.1) originating from the first separate reaction step.
- both block segments Preferably both block segments have a relatively high 1,4 polymerisation degree ( ⁇ 90%) in case of poly(butadiene).
- the monoblock polymer segments showing a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution and constituting one set of arms of the radial asymmetric block copolymers, will normally have a weight average molecular weight in the range of from 5000 to 150,000 and preferably within the range of from 10,000 to 70,000.
- the weight average molecular weight will be within the range of from 20,000 to 250,000 and preferably from 20,000 to 100,000.
- This combination of properties makes said polymers suitable for application in adhesive, sealant and coating compositions and in bitumen compositions for road paving and/or roofing, wherein moreover, if desired, relatively large amounts of filler can be incorporated.
